The US administration's proposals to exclude nursing from its list of professional degrees will restrict access to student loans, leaving many students unable to pursue a nursing career.

This is the wrong approach and we will always defend those who sit at the heart of every health and care system.
Quote from RCN General Secretary and Chief Executive Professor Nicola Ranger reads: We are a global profession and an attack on one is an attack on all. We stand side-by-side in solidarity with our colleagues in the USA.

This is so good and long overdue.

Have tissues handy.

You will smile, laugh, and cry.

Such a beautiful soul.

Today would have been Jimmy Carter’s 101st birthday.

We remember a founding member of The Elders whose integrity, compassion and tireless work for peace, democracy & human rights left an indelible mark on the world.

His legacy continues to inspire.
"What are the things that you can't see that are important? Justice, truth, humility, service, compassion, love... They're the guiding lights of a life." - Jimmy Carter, Founding member of the Elders, 39th president of the United States, Nobel peace Laureate

He was kind, intelligent, talented, compassionate, sensitive, fun, trustworthy and truthful- an ethical person who cared deeply about his family and about America.

He embodied everything we value and search for now . 💔
